Awesome.. I'm checking it out right now. It will be nice adding the
iiwusynth control panel (Reverb, master volume, etc) to Swami. I'd like
to give real time control of generators a try as well. I was thinking
about this a bit. Isn't there a race condition between testing to see if
a voice is still the same voice and actually setting a value? It might
be nice to have a callback or some way to expire a voice in my hash
table. Anyways, I'll give it a try and see how things work or don't :)

Yeah, I already have that one. It is quite nice. I need to change the on
demand loading of presets in Swami though, so that rather than per note
on demand its per preset. So selecting a preset might take a little bit
(if the option is enabled) but the user wont get stalls when playing new
notes :) As things are, big fonts like Fluid are a bit annoying cuz each
unplayed note has quite a bit of latency while the sample is loaded.
Still don't have a way to expire samples either, so Swami eventually has
to be stopped before it takes over the machine.

Cheers. BTW.. I've been working rather diligently on Swami, I'm going to
try and check things in to CVS soon, I haven't done so in quite some
time. Part of the procrastination is in the need to document all my
changes :)
